More than 80 locals gathered for the recent Brown County Farm Tour.
The Brown County Farm Bureau and Brown County OSU Extension were excited to offer a three-part summer series. Throughout the summer, there have been multiple seminars covering topics of Private Pesticide Category CORE recertification, Integrated Pest Management and monitoring insect update on the black cutworm, true armyworm, fall armyworm, western bean cutworm, european corn borer, and corn earworm. Additional field reports regarding insects, weeds, and diseases were also discussed throughout these sessions.
